What a brilliant advert with such a strong message! It’s amazing you pulled this off for under £500 and created the song, lyrics, and video yourself. We might not be number one on iTunes just yet, but let’s make that happen! I’ll be grabbing the single for just £0.79 and sharing it with my mates.... let’s spread the word!
So terribly sorry for your loss. Be kind to yourself in the coming months and take advantage of any invitations from friends and family - they are great, albeit brief, distractions while your grief is all-consuming. Best wishes to you xxx
I’m so sorry for your loss, and thank you for sharing this with me. Sending you all my love and strength, and if this brings any comfort, I’m truly grateful. ❤️
My son’s name was John Lewis. He died in 2018. His wife died this last March. Many tears have been shed watching this. But the words are so very true. So sadly missed…… lonely mum here.
Me too thank you losing my daughter and grandad last year I still mourn I miss them both so much. I wasn't supposed have my daughter 7 years the drs said. But she outlived what they said. 7 amazing years . The other kids miss her
Mine too. Lost dad to Alzheimer's last October & mum to the same disease in April. I was their carer for years so I feel so lost now. It's going to be a hard Christmas. Sending hugs x
Sending you love yes I grieving my daughter and grandad who was my dad in a way as my dad didn't want be part of my life. They both passed last year so second christmas doesn't seem easy either. Hence why I am going away with my other kids and other half and family who joining us in new York. So my kids can have good christmas
Definitely, thank you so much for your support! If you could share and/or purchase the charity single, it would mean the world and help the cause massively. Thanks again! ❤❤❤
Yes. You are right . At my mother's funeral a robin appeared on a branch during the service. And frequently since...departed loved ones being near and watching over us. Very touching ad..thanks Sam.
I also really really appreciate the message, this is so true. It's not only older people who get lonely, but looking back to his younger days with his beautiful wife, made me think about how much hope we have when we are young, and then it cn all be apparently taken way. God bless you and thanksfor makingthis.
I'm really pleased the advert connected with you! If you're able to help by buying the £0.79 charity single, it would make a big difference. Thank you!
Lost my beautiful daughter to cancer in January 24; this ad is a comfort Lynn love robins as I do. The music and words are superb. God bless everyone who have lost someone they loved this year.❤
So sorry I lost my 7 year old daughter last June she would been 9 now as she was 2 months away from her birthday. She just had seizure and never woke up. I knew day would come as they told me she wouldn't live long . But she was 7 almost 8. But I know I miss her daily. Sending love from another grieving parent to another.
Thank you so much-that really means a lot. I’m glad the message resonated with you. If it touched you, feel free to share it with others. Wishing you a warm Christmas. ❤️😊
This is the truth for so many of us at this time of the year. For me it was the week before Christmas 2017 when my darling wife of 46 years passed away. Every time I see a robin in the garden, I see hope.
My wife is more to me than my wife....She is my life and I couldn't live without her....I wouldn't last a week without her....She is Everything to me....

@@normanvickers2524 i thought John Lewis were back to their top tier standard for Christmas, where it isn't really obvious they're just trying to sell this years stuffed toy and merch. Turns out it wasn't John Lewis advert so I am awaiting that let down 😭🤣 this is beautiful though and a really heartfelt song
Yep thanks for that 😮, i literally cried all through it ,and when we saw her name ,😭😭😭 beautifully done ,heartfelt and raw emotions for some of us who are going through the same ,god bless you all ❤

I too believe that a robin signifies that a loved one is near. My Dad always said you’ll know I’m close when you see a little robin, I had open heart surgery this year following a heart attack and every day since coming home there’s been a robin in our garden chirping away, bless you Dad, I miss you every day ❤❤❤
I saw a medium, He said look for the Robin, sign from Ur Mum, my cctv ive seen a robin come to My bedroom window and look in while ive been asleep.@Toozelwoozle70
Wonderfully moving. This will be my 4th xmas without my late husband. I miss him so much but I won't be alone Xmas day as I'm with my sister-in-law and her family. But I'll be alone on Boxing day. God bless all alone this Xmas.
Thank you so much for sharing this with me. It’s good to hear you’ll have family with you on Christmas Day, though I know it’s still such a difficult time. If this video brings any comfort or connection, I’m truly grateful. Wishing you warmth and peace this Christmas and Boxing Day. ❤️
made me cry at the end.. thinking of my sister who passed in January so so young, and 2 beautiful daughters who aren't in my life.. the song is beautiful and you deserve for this to go viral.. buying it now

Thank you for sharing that with me. I’m so sorry for your loss, and it’s beautiful that a robin visits and brings a sense of connection to Robyn. Wishing you comfort and warmth this Christmas. ❤️
@@SamCleggMusic I think the robin brings me a sense of joy and connection to God and those who have gone before me. It's just a coincidence my cousin Robyn sadly died a few years ago in a tragic accident, and I mentioned it as it was a Robyn in the video. God bless.
This is not the john lewis christmas advert but it's absolutely stunning none the less, I cried a LOT. Sending love to all this Christmas, especially those who have lost a loved one ❤
Better than the JL ad. It and its associated mp3 are made on a shoestring by Sam Clegg to raise funds for charity, rather than swell corporate coffers! In other words, the true 'spirit of Christmas'.
Beautiful advert. Reality in 2024 at 84 I can't even get out of the house certainly don't eat or keep warm like that. Most of my time in bed to keep warm. On my own almost 17 years. Lot like me Happy Christmas Labour.
Thank you, I am glad the song and video resonated with you! If you haven’t already and have the means, you can support by purchasing the £0.79p charity single 'Send Me a Sign' on Amazon or iTunes-it would make a big difference!
Every single word of this song resonates so deeply with me. Love you always my Heavenly Wife Karen you may be gone but never forgotten and you still firmly seated in my heart ❤️
❤What an emotional advert, made me cry buckets. This time of the year we should not focus only the old but also the young. Loneliness is not just Christmas but all year round.

A little Robin was in my cherry tree yesterday singing his heart out, he was back today. They always make me think of my late granddaughter. She was always singing too. I have bought the single and this video had me in floods of tears. It's beautiful.
Thank you for sharing that with me. I’m so sorry for your loss, and it’s incredibly moving to know the video resonated with you. Robins have a special way of bringing comfort, don’t they? Wishing you peace and warmth this Christmas. 😢
I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my Dad suddenly last May..and it certainly had me in tears. Mum has a Robin come every day so I know Dad is looking after her when I'm not there. Please take care xx

John Lewis this was out of this world. To remember people who have had loss around the Christmas period well done. Its not all tinsle and glitter for everyone. Still my number one company since I worked at George Henry Lee , Liverpool in the seventies. I will buy this record for al my family
Few year back walked small lane between the trees and a Robin fluttered all the way down bush to Bush next to me. Chatted to him all the way. Wonderful bird. Wonderful advert. God bless you John Lewis. ❤❤❤
except it's got nothing do with John Lewis, someone is simply jumping on the bandwagon with an incorrect attribution - however worthy the cause it's a dishonest use of the name
Thank you so much for watching-it means a lot that it resonated with you. Christmas can be a bittersweet time, and you’re so right; it’s a reminder for us all to look out for one another. If you think others might feel the same, a share would be wonderful. Take care, and thank you again. 😢❤️

As a proud Scotsman I feel heartfelt with tears because I can imagine some people sadly in my street that are old and family don't bother with them, I ve taken my neighbour out for tea and coffee now and again so he doesn't feel lonely. This really hits home. 😢
This is so special - I lost my husband on the 30th March this year after a very short battle with liver cancer. This made my cry. I love Robins and have managed to tame a few and for the last week I have a Robin that comes to my back door every morning waiting to be fed. I know it is my husband keeping a watchful eye over me.
Thank you so much for sharing this with me. I’m deeply sorry for your loss, and it’s truly heartwarming to hear how the robin has brought that sense of your husband’s presence. I hope those visits continue to bring you comfort. Wishing you peace and warmth this Christmas. ❤️
Absolutely beautiful advert. Had me in tears. Every time I see a robin I think of my mum & dad and truly believe it’s a sign they are with me. John Lewis win hands down and I’ve not seen any other Christmas adverts. Thank you for sharing ❤️💕💕
Thank you so much for your lovely message; I’m really touched. I love that they bring that sense of connection to those we’ve lost. It means a lot that the video resonated with you. If you felt it was special, a share would be wonderful to help spread the message, but no pressure at all. Thanks again for watching! ❤️💕💕
My husband passed 17 years ago ...I see a robin and I know he is around ...the little bird also brings hope....I moved to Brittany 6 years ago ...robin is rouge gorge here ...such a proud little bird ... God bless us all .

Absolutely beautiful. My brother died earlier this year so this had me bawling from the first second. Until i read the comments I thought this was the actual John Lewis advert. Thank you for sharing this wonderful advert and song.
OMG! This is such a beautiful clip and very succinct song. It was Christmas time 2022 when my younger sister was terminally ill and passed just after so it brings tears and sadness. Let’s hope it brings comfort as well as tears to all suffering from losing loved ones.
This hit hard esp the end I lost my dad 3 years ago in December 2021 Robins have a sentimental feeling to my family and me, it's a lovely song and real 💔 of a video but sends a special message hold ur loved ones close cos u never know when the worst day will come (writing this with tears coming down my face) miss you dad love u forever and always miss you
My Dad died 12 weeks ago, he loved Robins and often nursed birds back to health. This song and video was a punch to the gut but also reminded me of such beautiful parts of my Dad's life.
So sad not sure if i can even watch it again crying just thinking about it, for all the loved ones we have all lost, Christmas is such a sad time for so many people, the music and the song reminds us of happy times and reminiscing. ❤😢
Oh goodness me, that caught me right in the feels. 😢 My Nan died on Christmas eve about 25 years ago. My dad died 2 weeks before Christmas in 2019. We make it seem important to have a wonderful, happy time at Christmas. But once past childhood it seems to just highlight all the sad things. Robins are wonderful little birds. They give us hope
Oh wow , watched this 2 days before the 2nd anniversary of the passing of my granddaughter and I sobbed all the way through it , beautiful but such a heart breaking advert
Thank you so much for watching, and I’m truly sorry for your loss. It means a lot to know the video resonated with you, especially at such a difficult time. Wishing you comfort and peace. ❤️
Thank you so much for your comment, I am glad you resonated with the video 😊 If you’re able, please kindly consider sharing and purchasing the charity single-it would mean a lot! 🌟
I wanted the Robin to show up at the window at the end, tapping it to get the old guys attention.... beautiful song and video, thats me, forever the optimist 😢🤗
Thank you so much for your lovely message. I’m truly glad the video brought back those special memories for you. If it resonates with others too, a share would be wonderful, but no pressure at all. Wishing you a warm and heartfelt Christmas. ❤️ xx
This was a tough watch, it triggered me so much; love, loss, loneliness and the frality of life. It was such a beautiful way to capture all of those emotions and feelings, and the spiritual visitors, representative of loved ones no longer with us..captured me from the start. A worthy Christmas Ad winner xx
What a brilliant advert with such a strong message! It’s amazing you pulled this off for under £500 and created the song, lyrics, and video yourself. We might not be number one on iTunes just yet, but let’s make that happen! I’ll be grabbing the single for just £0.79 and sharing it with my mates.... let’s spread the word!

One of the best adverts I have seen....anytime.
Thank you so much for your kind words; it means a lot to know it resonated with you. If you’d like to support, sharing and/or purchasing the single would be amazing and help the cause. Thanks again! ❤️
This is worthy of being a John Lewis Christmas Advertisement.
Thank you.
Totally worthy of that . ❤
@@SamCleggMusic Is it John Lewis or is there a typo in the video title?
@@normanvickers2524 i thought John Lewis were back to their top tier standard for Christmas, where it isn't really obvious they're just trying to sell this years stuffed toy and merch. Turns out it wasn't John Lewis advert so I am awaiting that let down 😭🤣 this is beautiful though and a really heartfelt song
@@pete9383 no it says in description it is inspired by john lewis, so not their advert
Lost my beautiful wife just over 2 years ago and I miss her more and more each day .. this song expresses exactly how I feel .. 💔💔
I’m so sorry for your loss, and thank you for sharing that with me. I’m truly touched that my song resonated with you.
❤
Yep thanks for that 😮, i literally cried all through it ,and when we saw her name ,😭😭😭 beautifully done ,heartfelt and raw emotions for some of us who are going through the same ,god bless you all ❤
Thank you so much for watching, and I’m truly touched that it resonated with you. It means a lot to know the video spoke to those raw emotions. Wishing you comfort and peace, especially if you’re going through something similar. God bless you too. ❤
I lost my Dad in January and everytime I go out to the garden a Robin comes and watches me and comes when I call it
You're lucky , my mum died in march and I never really get any signs x wish I did
I feel like that too I have two little robins that regularly visit and I feel it is my dad and Nan xx
Beautiful song and advert made me çry thinking about loved ones that are no longer with us
Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m truly touched that the song brought back memories of your loved ones. If it resonates with others, a share would be wonderful, but no worries at all. Wishing you comfort and warmth this Christmas. ❤️
Such a meaningful and beautiful advert. Seems I'm not the only one sobbing like a babe 😭💗
Thank you so much for your kind words; it means a lot to know it resonated with you. If you’d like to support, sharing and/or purchasing the single would be amazing and help the cause. Thanks again! ❤️
Omg I was in tears. What a beautiful advert and so true for so many ❤
Thank you so much for your support! If you could share and/or purchase the charity single, it would mean the world and help the cause massively. Thanks again! ❤❤❤
I believe when Robins appear loved ones are near. It’s been 7 years since my dad passed and nearly everyday I have seen a robin xxx
I too believe that a robin signifies that a loved one is near. My Dad always said you’ll know I’m close when you see a little robin, I had open heart surgery this year following a heart attack and every day since coming home there’s been a robin in our garden chirping away, bless you Dad, I miss you every day ❤❤❤
I saw a medium, He said look for the Robin, sign from Ur Mum, my cctv ive seen a robin come to My bedroom window and look in while ive been asleep.@Toozelwoozle70
I agree ❤❤
Wonderfully moving. This will be my 4th xmas without my late husband. I miss him so much but I won't be alone Xmas day as I'm with my sister-in-law and her family. But I'll be alone on Boxing day. God bless all alone this Xmas.
Thank you so much for sharing this with me. It’s good to hear you’ll have family with you on Christmas Day, though I know it’s still such a difficult time. If this video brings any comfort or connection, I’m truly grateful. Wishing you warmth and peace this Christmas and Boxing Day. ❤️
🤍
❤❤
made me cry at the end.. thinking of my sister who passed in January so so young, and 2 beautiful daughters who aren't in my life.. the song is beautiful and you deserve for this to go viral.. buying it now
Beautiful and very moving 😢 John Lewis know how to pull at the heartstrings 🥺❤
It isn't JL
it's nothing to do with John Lewis
Nothing to do w. JL. All credit is due to Sam Clegg in trying to raise funds for charity.
Crying 😢out loud for everyone I loved that has passed away. May Our Almighty Father Continue To Bless Us All. ❤♥️🥰😍🌹🌺🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Wonderful cried all through it , I had 30 amazing years with my husband now Promoted to Glory it's so hard to be alone...but he's still in my heart with all our happy memories God Bless
What a classy advert sad but uplifting as well showing us our loved ones are near. God bless my son chump hope God is looking after you my darling xxx
Made me bawl my eyes out. I lost a cousin called Robyn, and I often have a wonderful robin in my back garden who sits like this and serenades me.
Thank you for sharing that with me. I’m so sorry for your loss, and it’s beautiful that a robin visits and brings a sense of connection to Robyn. Wishing you comfort and warmth this Christmas. ❤️
@@SamCleggMusic I think the robin brings me a sense of joy and connection to God and those who have gone before me. It's just a coincidence my cousin Robyn sadly died a few years ago in a tragic accident, and I mentioned it as it was a Robyn in the video. God bless.
This is not the john lewis christmas advert but it's absolutely stunning none the less, I cried a LOT. Sending love to all this Christmas, especially those who have lost a loved one ❤
It’s not the John Lewis ad???
@missrubyred1515 nope.
Better than the JL ad. It and its associated mp3 are made on a shoestring by Sam Clegg to raise funds for charity, rather than swell corporate coffers! In other words, the true 'spirit of Christmas'.
Beautiful advert. Reality in 2024 at 84 I can't even get out of the house certainly don't eat or keep warm like that. Most of my time in bed to keep warm. On my own almost 17 years. Lot like me Happy Christmas Labour.
Oh my goodness, so sorry for what you are going through. ❤
If this doesn't pull on your heart strings, then there's ice flowing through your veins. Beautiful add !!! ❤
Thank you, I am glad the song and video resonated with you! If you haven’t already and have the means, you can support by purchasing the £0.79p charity single 'Send Me a Sign' on Amazon or iTunes-it would make a big difference!
Every single word of this song resonates so deeply with me. Love you always my Heavenly Wife Karen you may be gone but never forgotten and you still firmly seated in my heart ❤️
❤What an emotional advert, made me cry buckets. This time of the year we should not focus only the old but also the young. Loneliness is not just Christmas but all year round.
Appreciate the support and I am glad the advert/song resonated with you! 🌟 If you can, grab the £0.79p charity single-it will make a real difference! ❤️❤
Cant type for tears. How beautiful. "When robins appear, loved ones are near" 💗🪶🦋
Thank you so much-that really means a lot. I’m so glad it touched you. If you feel it could resonate with others, a share would be wonderful. Thanks again for watching and for your kind words. ❤️
We lost my Dad suddenly last May, and a Robin always visits Mum. I'm sobbing watching this. xx ❤️
Thank you for sharing that with me. I’m so sorry for your loss, and I’m touched that the video resonated with you. Robins truly bring such comfort. Wishing you and your mum peace and warmth this Christmas. xx ❤️
A little Robin was in my cherry tree yesterday singing his heart out, he was back today. They always make me think of my late granddaughter. She was always singing too. I have bought the single and this video had me in floods of tears. It's beautiful.
So sorry for your loss xx
The same robin comes back to our garden every year ,we look forward to his /her arrival every time ❤️👍
Wow, that's brought me to tears. My husband died suddenly 14 months ago, and he loved Robin's. Every time I see one, I'm hoping it's a sign from him 😢
Thank you for sharing that with me. I’m so sorry for your loss, and it’s incredibly moving to know the video resonated with you. Robins have a special way of bringing comfort, don’t they? Wishing you peace and warmth this Christmas. 😢
I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my Dad suddenly last May..and it certainly had me in tears. Mum has a Robin come every day so I know Dad is looking after her when I'm not there. Please take care xx
😢❤
Thank you and you too@@SamCleggMusic
You done it again john lewis 😭😭❤️ that's beautiful

Well thats me in tears for Christmas!!

This is a beautiful advert. I lost my dad 4 years ago this month. I believe that everytime I see a robin it is a sign from him. It gives me peace. My heart goes out to anyone who is grieving ❤
Thank you so much for your comment. I am very sorry about your loss!
Whenever I see a robin in my garden, I always say out loud 'hello, my precious one '...love and miss you Gray 💔😢
Thank you so much for sharing this with me. There’s something so comforting about seeing robins and feeling that connection with our loved ones. I’m truly touched that the video resonated with you. Wishing you warmth and peace this Christmas, and thank you again for watching. 💔😢❤️

Thank you so much for your comment of support! If you could share and/or purchase the charity single, it would mean the world and help massively. Thanks again! ❤❤❤
John Lewis this was out of this world. To remember people who have had loss around the Christmas period well done. Its not all tinsle and glitter for everyone. Still my number one company since I worked at George Henry Lee , Liverpool in the seventies. I will buy this record for al my family
Few year back walked small lane between the trees and a Robin fluttered all the way down bush to Bush next to me. Chatted to him all the way. Wonderful bird. Wonderful advert. God bless you John Lewis. ❤❤❤
Please note - no credit is due to John Lewis. It's all the work of the very public-spirited Sam Clegg.
My mom passed away 3 weeks ago today ,She didn't want to leave me as I needed her.😢We both adore Robins ,Our Christmas Song now 💔
I’m so sorry 😞
Sending love.
Sending you prayers of comfort 🙏🏼
Am I the only one who realises this isn’t the actual John Lewis Christmas ad
Sensational advert as only John Lewis can. Tears flowed.
This is not the official John Lewis advert. It’s a tribute to
except it's got nothing do with John Lewis, someone is simply jumping on the bandwagon with an incorrect attribution - however worthy the cause it's a dishonest use of the name
@@lisapy1132 ... and raises money for charity, not to swell company coffers!
Nothing to do with john Lewis it is Sam's video he did it himself
My nanny passed away in February and this song is so beautiful every time I see robins I think of her
Saddest Christmas advert ever 😢 A reminder to look after each other
Thank you so much for watching-it means a lot that it resonated with you. Christmas can be a bittersweet time, and you’re so right; it’s a reminder for us all to look out for one another. If you think others might feel the same, a share would be wonderful. Take care, and thank you again. 😢❤️
I have always believed that when Robins are here loved ones are near. I thought i was the only one. Thank you.
Appreciate the support and I am glad the advert/song resonated with you! 🌟 If you can, grab the £0.79p charity single-it will make a real difference! ❤️❤
Absolutely stunning. No commercial pressure just a message of love
Thank you so much for your kind words; it means a lot to know it resonated with you. If you’d like to support, sharing and/or purchasing the single would be amazing and help the cause. Thanks again! ❤️
We are very happy as there are a lot of robins live in our garden and they make us smile
As a proud Scotsman I feel heartfelt with tears because I can imagine some people sadly in my street that are old and family don't bother with them, I ve taken my neighbour out for tea and coffee now and again so he doesn't feel lonely. This really hits home. 😢
This is so special - I lost my husband on the 30th March this year after a very short battle with liver cancer. This made my cry. I love Robins and have managed to tame a few and for the last week I have a Robin that comes to my back door every morning waiting to be fed. I know it is my husband keeping a watchful eye over me.
Thank you so much for sharing this with me. I’m deeply sorry for your loss, and it’s truly heartwarming to hear how the robin has brought that sense of your husband’s presence. I hope those visits continue to bring you comfort. Wishing you peace and warmth this Christmas. ❤️
I'm so sorry for your loss. Please take care x
😢❤
@@SamCleggMusic Thank you your kind words are greatly appreciated.
@@franchipperfield793 Thank you
Every time I go to the garden after losing my dad in January, a Robin watches me and arrives when I call it.
Absolutely beautiful advert. Had me in tears. Every time I see a robin I think of my mum & dad and truly believe it’s a sign they are with me. John Lewis win hands down and I’ve not seen any other Christmas adverts. Thank you for sharing ❤️💕💕
Thank you so much for your lovely message; I’m really touched. I love that they bring that sense of connection to those we’ve lost. It means a lot that the video resonated with you. If you felt it was special, a share would be wonderful to help spread the message, but no pressure at all. Thanks again for watching! ❤️💕💕
AGAIN, DO NOT THANK JL FOR THIS WONDERFUL CHARITABLE VENTURE. IT'S ALL THANKS TO SAM CLEGG.
My husband passed 17 years ago ...I see a robin and I know he is around ...the little bird also brings hope....I moved to Brittany 6 years ago ...robin is rouge gorge here ...such a proud little bird ... God bless us all .
Its breaking my heart reading these comments, may they all fly with the angels and be safe in gods arms xx
Make the most of every day you have together ❤️ xxx God bless you all
I am glad the song and video resonated with you! If you haven’t already and have the means, you can support by purchasing the £0.79p charity single 'Send Me a Sign' on Amazon or iTunes-it would make a big difference! x 😊
Absolutely beautiful. My brother died earlier this year so this had me bawling from the first second. Until i read the comments I thought this was the actual
John Lewis advert. Thank you for sharing this wonderful advert and song.
OMG! This is such a beautiful clip and very succinct song. It was Christmas time 2022 when my younger sister was terminally ill and passed just after so it brings tears and sadness. Let’s hope it brings comfort as well as tears to all suffering from losing loved ones.
Lost 2 people in my life and it's broke my heart it's the 1st I've heard it on bits..love yours brothers🎉🎉🎉❤❤
This hit hard esp the end I lost my dad 3 years ago in December 2021 Robins have a sentimental feeling to my family and me, it's a lovely song and real 💔 of a video but sends a special message hold ur loved ones close cos u never know when the worst day will come (writing this with tears coming down my face) miss you dad love u forever and always miss you
John Lewis know how to pull the heart strings, in tears here.
It isn't JL
@@bunnylations Thank you
Nothing to do with John Lewis! The title is very deceptive and misleading!
@@WurzelsFan yes so I am finding out thank you.
My Dad died 12 weeks ago, he loved Robins and often nursed birds back to health. This song and video was a punch to the gut but also reminded me of such beautiful parts of my Dad's life.
I recently lost my mum. This is so beautiful Sam. The whole thing is incredibly moving and the song is stunning
So sad not sure if i can even watch it again crying just thinking about it, for all the loved ones we have all lost, Christmas is such a sad time for so many people, the music and the song reminds us of happy times and reminiscing. ❤😢
Oh goodness me, that caught me right in the feels. 😢 My Nan died on Christmas eve about 25 years ago. My dad died 2 weeks before Christmas in 2019. We make it seem important to have a wonderful, happy time at Christmas. But once past childhood it seems to just highlight all the sad things. Robins are wonderful little birds. They give us hope
Oh wow , watched this 2 days before the 2nd anniversary of the passing of my granddaughter and I sobbed all the way through it , beautiful but such a heart breaking advert
Thank you so much for watching, and I’m truly sorry for your loss. It means a lot to know the video resonated with you, especially at such a difficult time. Wishing you comfort and peace. ❤️
Oh goodness, I'm still crying. What a powerful video - single purchased.
Thank you so much. I’m super happy you could resonate with the video ☺️☺️
Beautiful advert had a lot of loss in my family was in tears watching this.
Amazing and powerful message
Please put this on tv
Thank you so much for your kind words; it means a lot to know it resonated with you. I am sorry for your loss. Thanks again! ❤️
@@SamCleggMusic thank you
In tears watching this absolutely heartbreaking ad and song love the lyrics to it makes me think of my late grandparents 😢
Thank you so much for your comment, I am glad you resonated with the video 😊 If you’re able, please kindly consider sharing and purchasing the charity single-it would mean a lot! 🌟
I wanted the Robin to show up at the window at the end, tapping it to get the old guys attention.... beautiful song and video, thats me, forever the optimist 😢🤗
Omg this is so beautiful love it remembers me of love one we have lost fabulous xx ❤️ ♥️ 💕 💖 ❤
Thank you so much for your lovely message. I’m truly glad the video brought back those special memories for you. If it resonates with others too, a share would be wonderful, but no pressure at all. Wishing you a warm and heartfelt Christmas. ❤️ xx
This was a tough watch, it triggered me so much; love, loss, loneliness and the frality of life. It was such a beautiful way to capture all of those emotions and feelings, and the spiritual visitors, representative of loved ones no longer with us..captured me from the start. A worthy Christmas Ad winner xx
